Title: Vena cava filter with stabilising arcs
Inventor: MCCARTHY MATTHEW
IPC: A61F2/01
Filed: 2013-05-11
Abstract: A blood vessel filter, particularly for the inferior vena cava, which anchors to the vessel wall using arcs 20 at the end of the legs 21 to prevent tipping of the filter or movement within the blood vessel. The filter legs 21 and arcs 20 can be retracted away from the wall 22 using the hook 26.

Title: Safety release device for a sailing vessel harness
Inventor: TORRENS BENJAMIN PATRICK
IPC: B63H9/10
Filed: 2013-05-22
Abstract: A quick release coupling 1 for attaching a trapeze harness worn by a crew member to a vessel including a base plate with apertures or other features for attaching the coupling to the harness fabric structure, and a downward facing fork 2, attached rotatably 3 in one or more planes to the base plate. A shorter first leg of the fork forms a hook which is passed over and through a loop 6 tethered to the vessel. The longer second leg of the fork is trapped by a retention lever 4, which is held in position by a locking lever 5. The locking lever blocks 4 against rotation relative to the base plate and the first leg of the fork is maintained in a hooking position. In an emergency, releasing the locking lever and releasing the retention lever will free the second leg of the fork allowing it to rotate and allow the loop to slip free.

Title: Gaze-controlled user interface with multimodal input
Inventor: SKOGO M RTEN
IPC: G06F3/01
Filed: 2013-05-30
Abstract: A personal computer system (1) provides a gaze-controlled graphical user interface having a bidirectional and a unidirectional interaction mode. In the bidirectional interaction mode, a display (30) shows one or more graphical controls (31a, 31b) in motion, each being associated with an input operation to an operating system (10) or application. A gaze tracking system (40) provides gaze point data of a viewer (99), and a matching module (50) attempts to match a relative gaze movement against a relative movement of one of the graphical controls. The system comprises a selector (60) controllable by a modality other than gaze. The system initiates a transition from the unidirectional interaction mode to the bidirectional interaction mode in response to an input received at the selector. The display then shows graphical controls in motion in a neighbourhood of the current gaze point, as determined based on current gaze data provided by the gaze tracking system. Preferably, the graphical controls may only be in motion in the neighbourhood of the current gaze point, with the remainder of the display being unaffected. The invention improves the usability of gaze tracking GUIs including their swiftness and accuracy by combining different interaction modes.

Title: Improved Object Tracking in Captured Images Using Long Term Feature Templates and Estimated Motion
Inventor: VOGEL HOLGER
IPC: G06K9/64
Filed: 2013-12-12
Abstract: An object is tracked (5) by a tracking imaging sensor which detects the object. Templates (8.3), each exhibiting object features (9.3), are stored in temporal sequence to implement, in images (4.3) subsequently captured by the sensor, object recognition based on a conformity of the stored template object feature with newly captured object features. The sensor is guided to follow the object, an object motion path being stored. During object recognition, an older template in the sequence is used for determining the conformity value, at least to the same extent as more recent templates. Additionally or alternatively, during sensor guidance, if the object is no longer recognised in a subsequently captured image, the object motion is estimated, during which older stored object motions are used, at least to the same extent as more recent stored object motions.
